Kusoge (クソゲー) is a Japanese word for "shitty game".

The term is used to refer to video games with abysmal graphics, gameplay, sound, games that feature an abnormally high amount of bugs that lead to numerous in-game glitches, broken controls. However, a kusoge doesn't need to be a bug-infested, broken game. It may also be a well-programmed game that features, on the other hand, incredibly frustrating gameplay or artificial difficulty level oscillations (e.g. Takeshi no Chousenjou for the Famicom (Japanese NES) ).

A good example of a Western kusoge is "Cheetahmen II" made by Active Enterprises, which features good music, but everything else is so miserably broken and glitchy, making the game virtually unplayable.

On the other side of the world, we have a kusoge called "Hoshi wo Miru Hito" (星をみるひと - the man who sees the stars) which is a JRPG created by Japanese company HOT-B. The gameplay and look is similar to Dragon Quest, but it is utterly broken and frustrating.

A Cannabis strain by T.H. Seeds. Og kush X S.A.G.E.

"T H Seeds Kushage: Every few years a new flavour emerges on the scene, and right now this is the one. With two proven parents, this combo of Cali super plants just gets better.

Our S.A.G.E. male has proven over the years to produce stable vigorous plants. The O.G. Kush we used in this cross has a following of biblical proportions; the S.A.G.E, on the other hand, delivers the essential Sativa influence to lift up the sometimes overwhelming Kush effect. With a longer flowering than the O.G. you can expect bigger yields & more elegantly shaped plants.

The sandalwood flavour of S.A.G.E. & the crystal clear high add an extra boost to the almost addictive buzz of the O.G. Kush."
With this outrages vigorous growth, TH Seeds Kushage will make any indoor gardener proud !
